Book II, chapter 5 of Du contrat social is usually read as a chapter about the death penalty. Bringing to light the genesis of this text and redefining its status within the economy of Du contrat social lead to call into question this interpretation. Hence the notion of right of life and death as well as Rousseau’s view about the death penalty must be reevaluated.
